10:55 PM
more than six months of preparations, scoldings, cryings and hard work all ended grandly with alot of emotions in our hearts at the VCH last night.
dont we all just rock?
oh haha. TAN TIANHUI is eager for my take on yesterday's concert. (: im sorry but i like to post in details. (:
in short, we rawked the vch overwhelmed with feelings.
i know we dont say it, but it's kinda obvious some of us still has the passion for band burning in our hearts.
time: 10.30. 8.5 hours more to appassionata Xattire: band skirt, band tee, band socks, band shoes. ok. so me, jasmine, cheryl, jacey and eugenia were supposed to have a section lunch before going to school yesterday. we went PRATA MAN. then i was supposed to buy A STALK OF NICELY WRAPPED TULIP FOR JASMINE TAN but the shop didnt open! so i went somewhere else and GOT HER A BOUQUET OF ROSES INSTEAD. see IM SO NICE! and she didnt get me anything lah!
qoutes HER. "DOESNT BEING THE PERSON PLAYING BESIDE YOU IN BAND MEAN A THING TO YOU!?!!?"rawrr. then supposed to meet her at her bus top to go prata man together. but I PRESSED THE BELL AND THE BUS UNCLE DIDNT STOP. then i had to alight at the next bus stop instead lah. so rubbish. then finally reached there like half an hour late. then only cheryl was there. jacey went SWIMMING before the concert can! we were like !!!!! . then eugenia and CHUNGYAN came cause chungyan was with yooj. then we realised that chungyan very slow! haha! and her laughter is contagious lah! haha. oh. then chungyan realised she didnt bring shorts to wear. which was like so dead. cause our band skirt is kinda light (I JUST REALISED.) so much so that when you cross your legs and sit down, the skirt flies straight up. when you go down the stairs real fast, it kinda flies too. so hrm VERY DANGEROUS. yes. then she never wear shorts. and flutes are sitting in the front row on stage. and guess what!
i didnt wear shorts too.
jasmine was like staring at me with that "omg. omg! " look. then i was like THANKS ARH. then jasmine was like, but it should be okay lah. we're double bassists. we STAND WHILE PLAYING you know. (:
time: 12. 7 hours to appassionata X.then after lunch we went to school only to find a BIG TRUCK WAITING OUTSIDE THE AUDI. super high up and super big lah! woah. then we went up and found percussion practising for their percussion enzem. and I TELL YOU. THEY REALLY IMPROVED ALOT. after we went up they ran through brazillian which wasnt an easy piece to play together. still remembered last year for percussion enzem they wanted to play brazillian and they really couldnt make it. but now it's like PRO. (: the mallets were like ZAI3. then christal is like FOREVER PRO. then pearlynne and huijuan improved alot now they look like PRO PEOPLE. (: and when they ran through, jasmine got super touched and started tearing. then pearlynne followed lah. erms. but ya. lots of hugs were exchanged but it didnt last long.
after they ran through finish, we started carrying tubas, double basses and percussion stuff down to outside the audi. most of the stuff wasnt much of a problem cause the lift was working and the instruments had wheels so can drag. the only problems were DOUBLE BASSES, THE BLOODY SYNTHESIZER AND THE HUGE AMPLIFYER. so damn heavy lah! no no. ok. the double basses were ok. heavy but not soooo heavy. SYNTHESIZER AND AMPLIFYER?! synthesizer needed more than 8 people to carry it ok. amplifyer was like 4 people carry. -.-
then the trouble was LIFTING THE INSTRUMENTS ON THE HUGH TRUCK. cause the truck was raised to quite a high level. and we had to lift them up to almost neck level. O.O tubas and double basses is ok. 2-3 people can manage. but percussion stuff?!! timpani, mallets, drumset CHIMES, SYNTHESIZER?!?! but the driver uncle was super nice and super gentlemanly and SUPER STRONG. he helped alot. (:
time: 2.30. 4.5 hours to appassionata Xthen off to vch. we were all like mad on the bus lah. then basses were with trombones and clarinets. hmm. vera and sabrina very noisy on the bus leh. haha! i think me and jasmine super noisy also. (: HIGH MAH. then we exchanged present. got a cute pretty scotchtape from jasmine and a note. "doesnt being the person playing beside you in band mean a thing to you!" (: im quite touched and guilty with jasmine's note. felt that i havent been growing up and being matured enough. whole day TALK TALK TALK LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH. and kept playing around during band lah. even though i was quite serious during the practice at first but when concert was nearing i became more playful. I DUNNO WHY. must be because the actions for gelato and jasmine's stupid ideas lah! haha.
reached vch. we got off our bus then went up to the concert hall to put our stuff in the audience seats first. once we step in we were like "woah grand." that type of feeling, but it soon wore off. then went back down to ban1 percussion and basses stuff. only to realise that the lift for vch BROKE DOWN.
wth! @#%$&*
percussion were quite pissed i think. i would be if i were them. HOW TO CARRY TIMPANI AND SYNTHESIZER UP 3 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS! so we went back down AND IT WAS RAINING. drums cannot be wet lah. so sylvia went back up to get cloth and stuff to cover the drums when we carried them to vch. then we dragged 6 tubas up the stairs. quite ok lah. then carried percussion stuff like suspender, crash, toms, bongos auxilaries up easily cause small and quite light mah. then woah. DOUBLE BASSES and the other stuff like MALLETS, CHIMES, GONG, TIMPANI, we struggled like mad. cause the timpani, chimes, mallets and gong quite heavy, and double basses were TOO LONG to go up the steps. so we decided to carry the double basses horrizontally instead. then by the time we reached the concert hall, we still had to move all the way in the LIFT IT UP TO THE STAGE. which was once again about of neck level. tiring lah!
ok. after carrying all that stuff, we went to exchange presents. then gave sec 3s and sec 4s their presents, cause i didnt give sec 2s and sec 1s. then huijuan, patricia, pearlynne and liangzhen all jealous that jasmine got a bouquet of flowers from me! quotes them:
"EEE SIEWYING. WHY I DONT HAVE! jasmine you can open up the bouquet and distribute the roses to us. we dont mind! (:" erms. then i gave yufei the smallest blue box cause she was the smallest, then nutcase was like "oh thankyou!" i thought she'd say something like "why i got the smallest box!" NOW I KNOW WHY. cause IT'S BLUE. and YUFEI LIKES BLUE. RIGHTTT? then jiaying got and ORANGE BOX and rouhui got a GREEN BOX.jiaying: "WHY SHE GOT THE
GREEN BOX!"
rouhui: "WHY I GOT THE
GREEN BOX!"
jiaying: "I WANT THE
GREEN BOX!"
rouhui: "EEEE
GREEN SO DISGUSTING! I WANT
PINK! WHY DONT HAVE
PINK! WHY YOU GIVE ME
GREEN!"
jiaying: "WHY YOU GIVE ME
ORANGE! I WANT THE
GREEN BOX! WHY YOU DONT GIVE ME THE
GREEN BOX!
me: "i dont know anything! i give according to birthdate! i didnt do anything!" -runs away-
jiaying: "YOU STUPID WOMAN!"
how would i know jiaying loved
GREEN and rouhui loved
PINK and nutcase loved
BLUE!
thanks jasmine and xiaohui for your note and milky bar. thanks kesin for your kisses chocolates. (:
then we went to setup instruments and tune up. me and jasmine decided to tune open strings and positions outside so we went outside to tune. took very long lah. jasmine is pro at tuning. (:
then after the long time of tuning, we decided to go one stage when the whole band except us were already on stage. i kept thinking that we were supposed to stand next to percussion lorh. super blur. and WE HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING UP ON STAGE! ): cause the steps to the stage super narrow, then our doubles basses so fat! i went up first and almost hit the crystal light on the wall next to the step with my bass lah!
quotes jasmine : "WAH WAH! CAREFUL! CAREFUL! BEHIND YOU! DONT HIT THE LIGHT! YOU BREAK IT YOU PAY OK!"
me: -turns around- "WOAH!"
and when we finally got up on stage, we realised that it didnt feel very grand at all and we realised that we got our HIGH CHAIRS! i tried sitting and playing and realised that the position that we had to sit in was VERY UNGLAM. ahems. and ya. NO SHORTS. so we decided not to use the chairs. hrms. we sorta ran through the repetoire but not entirely lah. then i thought we sounded quite loud for ride and persis. must be the percussion. cause vch amplifies percussion. dunno why. but WOAH. listen liao VERY SHUANG. especially persis! ((: yes. then HAIYO. during rehearsal our SEC ONE EMCEES KEPT LAUGHING TO THEMSELVES FOR NO REASON. dont ask me why. then halfway through the rehearsal I SPOTTED A DEAD COCKROACH ON THE VCH STAGE. it was dusty and mouldy lah! wth!
me: "er jasmine, there's a cockroach on the floor."
jasmine: "huh? what!" -looks- "AHHH. OMG! where did it come from! did it come from our bass?!" (cause LAST YEAR'S CONCERT jasmine saw a cockroach coming out from her bass. SO FREAKED OUT CAN. like every year concert SURE GOT COCKROACH. thanks arh! -.-)
then we stood far far apart from the cockroach caus ethe cockroach was like in the middle of our basses? and i decided to use the high chair for rehearsal instead. then during the whole rehearsal me and jasmine was damn freaked out by that stupid cockroach!
oh then the stage super freaky. cause the back there where the bass guitar is, theres a hole at the side of the stage with stairs leading to the changing rooms. SUPER SCARY CAN. what if we move back and fall down the stairs how! and it' just a hole lah! no barrier no nothing! walao. freak.
time: around 4.30-5. 2-2.5 hours to appassionata X.
then after rehearsal, percussion took the stage for percussion enzem and damn! they were fab! (: haha. then me and tianhui went outside to finish up the 3 cards for sec 1s. super crap and screwed lah! oh yes. then judy and cynthia gave me a small purple flower. haha so cute! then me and tianhui rushed to gather our things and went into our changing rooms. haha. basses got the biggest changing room! (: very nice! ok maybe not the biggest, but one of the biggest changing rooms ON THE FIRST FLOOR. very nice! lalala. then they got lockers and a BIG MIRROR inside the changing rooms. it's so fortunate that we dont have to make-up if not I'LL COMMIT SUICIDE. cause jasmine and xiaohui all very concerned about their looks! their complexsion and all. !!! freaky lorh. then after putting our stuff, me jasmine and xiaohui went to give out the cards which sec 2s made. hoho. i gave out percs, saxes, horns, and all sec 1s cards cause i designed the sec 1s cards. haha. then give out le, went outside to slack abit more. then I DROPPED MY HAIRBAND ON THE FLOOR OUTSIDE THE EUPHOS, HORNS AND TROMBONES CHANGING ROOM. and you know what they did?
leave on the floor, act as a grave and placed a purple flower on it. WHAT THE. -whacks-
then went back to basses changing room, jasmine switched off the lights and we changed into band uniform. realised that our blouse super transparent. if we wore coloured bra can see lah. then eugenia gave us our presents! a long letter and a small photoshopped photo of us framed up. SO NICE! oh yes. then jasmine asked tiffany to help us catch the dead cockroach. OH SHE'S SO BRAVE! haha. then jasmine and i decided to go to the circle seats and watch perc enzem. we went outside and saw psgls here already lah. and a group of boys were outside. they were like sitting on the stairs? then we went into the circle seats and found that the view was better. oh. then
WE SAW OUR CONCERT BOOKLET. one word:
GORGEOUS. then we saw our basses section photo inside!
WAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. WE SHOULD GET THE MOST UNIQUE SECTION AWARD MAN. we're the only section which photo does not show our faces lah! (apart from horns)
JASMINE'S IDEA ONCE AGAIN. paparadum. (: haha. QOUTES JASMINE : "BU4 YAO4 PAI1! BU4 YAO4 PAI1 !" i think horns photo super funny! haha. then trombone's photo very PHOTOGENIC. cause of the different angles of the trombone. woah. pro man.
then went back to our changing room and we chatted and talk and lazed and roamed around for quite a long time before i decide to go to the toilet to wash up. and guess what.
i realised that the rest of the band were not in their changing rooms.
i panicked. ran back to our changing room and yelled for eugenia. then we were like ahh where is everybody. so we decided to go out and see. only percussion were still on stage. the rest of the band were gone. went outside the concert hall, went down vch. and we saw psgls eating their dinner lah. then me and jasmine were like waLIAO. even psgls had their dinner le. WE DONT HAVE? then we saw euphos and asked melissa where they got their dinner. then we went hunting for our dinner, which happened to be outside the lift lobby on the 3rd floor. THANKS ARH. then eugenia told somebody i cant remember who that nobody told us to come down for dinner. then that somebody was like : "eh sorry. cause we couldnt find ya'all." then we were like WHAT THE. dunno such thing called THE HANDPHONE MEH. cannot CALL isit! then in the end we only had like less than 10 minutes to eat dinner lah!
time: 6. 1 hour to appassionata X.we finally settled down. to eat. -.- behind schedule le. then we were like rush and eat and in the end i decided to throw away the rice. SO WASTED. ): then saw jiaying and ruohui and gave them their cards. and SO COINCIDENTALLY, jiaying got the
pink card, ruohui got the
green card.
jiaying: "AGAIN! YOU PURPOSELY ONE RIGHT! WHY YOU GIVE ME
PINK!"
rouhui: "OMG. YUCK.
GREEN AGAIN! WHY YOU GIVE HER
PINK! "
jiaying: "WHY YOU GIVE HER
GREEN! I WANT
GREEN!"
rouhui: "I WANT
PINK! YOU PURPOSELY ONE RIGHT!"
me: "no!!!! oh no. not on purpose one! we anyhow pick the cards one!"
jiaying: "and why nutcase's card the design so nice! why my one so ugly!"
rouhui: "ya lorh. why huh! nutcase! give me your card!"
me: -runs away.-
look. I SWEAR OK. it was definitely coincidental! cause the cards is all the sec 2s make togeher, then anyhow pick one card and write one name. that's all! ): not my fault! yuan1 wang4 arh! T.T
then we went back to our changing rooms to wear scarf and tidy up uniform. then went on stage. tuned up and had prep talk by ms chong. then the audience were already crowding outside and the stage manager was like shouting at us whether we could hurry up so that he could open the doors cause it was flooding. then we hurried and went off stage. then the audience came in.
that was the moment i'd never forget.
backstage, everyone was so nervous and we were hugging and comforting and cheering each other on. it just reminded me of last years concert, where almost everyone cried and hugged each other for encouragement and support. i hugged jasmine lots of times i cant remember cause i was very nervous and could feel myself shaking. worse thing is, double basses are the first to enter and the last to leave the stage. IM THE SECOND PERSON TO ENTER THE STAGE. freakky. we kept checking on the crowd and realised that alot of people took the circle seats. then the 1st floor empty empty one. then lined up to get ready to go on stage. then ms chong came around to tell us when the emcess said "audience please be reminded to switch off your handphones...." we go on stage. then saw sylvia crying just moments before the concert. woah scary can. then we heard the emcees said our cue, BUT JASMINE AND I WERE SO STUPID TO THINK THAT THAT WAS JUST A TESTING. so we didnt go on stage. then we realised that WE DIDNT GET OUR INCREDIBLES MASK. then sylvia was like: "oh yea. haiya heck lah." so wasted! all percussion's effort to stay up late and paint the bloody masks for the whole band, then never use! haiz.
then we had screw ups.
10 minutes to appassionata X. patricia LOST HER SHOE BAG. no shoe bag, no band shoes, no socks. woah. we were like freaking out. then patricia finally went to borrow shoes from people and socks from chingying. omg. almost screw up can. lucky pat! (and later she found out that she left her shoe bag in the band room. -.-)
then we heard the emcees saying the introduction of our concert le. then jasmine and i freakked lah. SO SCREWED. then we asked sylvis if it was the time to go onstage, then she quickly ask us to go up. SO SO SCREWED. then jasmine and i quickly went up, followed by the rest of the band. SO MALU. OH MAN. then when the emcees finished their introduction, the band havent even settle down yet lah. wth! oh man. so screwed. then went on stage super nervous. but oh man. the concert feeling was overwhelming. and emotions and memories started flowing back to me. then we started.
time: 7.00pm APPASSIONATA X.

((: LOVES. <3 color="#ff0000">bolero. mr lee took it faster than usual. quite fun actually. solos were great. loved sabrina's solo! thought that joanna's solo was abit soft though, cause the trumpet was muted. i think bolero was quite good.

(:
after that was alumni band. they played summon the heroes, first love and i'll follow him. i think everyone loved first love and i'll follow him lah! so nice! was touched by first love, and summon the heroes for the trumpet solo. then jiaying, nutcase and i were "dancing" backstage to i'll follow him!

Scar-by Missy HigginsHe left a card, a bar of soap and a scrubbing brush next to a note
That said "use these down to your bones"
And before I knew I had shiny skin and it felt easy being clean like him
I thought "this one knows better than I do"
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
He tried to cut me so I'd fit
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
So the next one came with a bag of treats, she smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea
And she told me don't trust them, trust me
Then she pulled at my stitches one by one, looked at my insides clicking her tongue and said
"This will all have to come undone"
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
She tried to blunt me so I'd fit
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
I think I realized just in time, although my old self was hard to find
You bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine
'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys
Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
Could you leave me with a scar?
behind these hazel eyes-by kelley clarksonSeems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
12:49 AM
i must be mad.
how can i hate and love you all at once?
i hate you for making me cry and feel emotional, for making me feel sentimental and reminisce the past, for making me dream and pour over the lovely memories.
but i love you, for cheering me up, for making me hyper and proud for being passionate about you, for making me feel me once again, for helping me to relax and regain my calmness.
im thankful, for you to torture me with painful memories, for you to let me reminisce the past, for you to let me dream, for painting pictures for me.
im grateful, for being ever so passionate about you.
you= music.
isnt music just wonderful?
isnt it nice to hear all the different parts come together and play in harmony? isnt it amazing how much a sound wave can do to you?
3 days away to appassionata X. go nycb! (:

and i look down.
I SQUASHED 3 SNAILS. ALREADY.
i freaked lah. the garden floor ALOT OF SNAILS CAN. like you cannot step anyway or you'll step on snails.
and i struggled to get out of there. in the end i killed at least 5 snails can. and the snails are not the big on you see on the 1sr floor at the quadrangle.
it's the small tiny ones that some people in other parts of the world eat.
EEEEEEYUR EEEEWWW YUCKS. PIU!
4. jasmine very funny!

5:51 PM
im so screwed lah please.
holiday homework-geog test
-maths workbook 1 qns
-maths workbook 2 qns
-statistics, 91 ,92
-ws 62-read r n j
-sci ws (the sposed to be quiz)
-geog sia
-hist ws
-art
-chinese portfolio
-zi4 wo3 jie1 shao4
SCREWED MAN, SCREWED. not to mention still got jason's stack of tuition homework.
plus
I HAVE NO MORE FREE FULL DAYS. i hardly have time to breathe.
i really felt like breaking down on the bus on the way home from band today lah. like the whole of next week is full of band pracs. there no more time left.
WHY CANT MR MATTHEW LIM HELP US ASK FOR EXTENDSIONS TO OUR HOMEWORK. wth! last time when mrs wong was our teacher in charge she helped us ask for extendsions lah. and now?
quotes jasmine:
"that incompetent stupid man!"now i really feel like ponning the first day of school lah. sabrina is confirmed ponning the first day of school. aaargh freakk. jasmine liang zhen and pearlynne are going to ask gregory goh for extendsions themselves lah. pearlynne volunteered to help me type a letter too cause i guess i really looked like im going to break down on the bus. but i dunno if it's the right choice. cause im sure jasmine and tianhui will be able to finish their homework. i dunno why.
URGH I FEEL LIKE THROWING AWAY ALL OF JASON'S HOMEWORK. without his homework i can cope le lah! pffffffft.
I REALLY FEEL LIKE PONNING THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! im so not ready for zi4 wo3 jie1 shao4. i scared i screw the whole thing up and li2 lao3 shi1 come and scold me again.
im so sorry but im really not looking forward to school. when school starts then you get more of your class and less band. and im so sorry im more bonded with band then 207. seriously. the type of bonds in band made 207 look like nothing.
im quite jealous of how much the sec 3s help each other alot.
DUNNO WHY THE SEC 2s COHORT SO DAMN SELFISH LAH. ok fine maybe not the whole sec 2s cohort. but some sec 2s super selfish lah. and worse still, attitude problem. what's their problem.
and
IM SO PISSED OFF BY SOME PEOPLE. the whole holiday they can even go and watch XMEN 3 and then afterwards go and say what "gaah im going to blow soon." and sound as if you're so depressed and that you're life sucks like shit. waliao. then wo3 bu2 shi4 si3 le lorh. freak.
i finally found out why i seldom speak of my troubles. it's precisely because of what pearlynne said on the bus lah. when people speak of their troubles, they would normally want you to make a decision for them. the worse thing to do is to leave them hanging for no answer. and the thing is when WE speak of our troubles, no one would really understand what it feels like until the same person goes through it. so the only people whom we can talk to is our own band people lah. cause when we talk to our normal school day friends who are in different ccas, they would never understand how much we suffer and go through in band and all the screwing up of time management and screwing up during practices. they would never understand how much it hurts when we break down not because for us but for some a common goal we work towards. and when we talk to others and discuss about our troubles, the other party will be sure to compare their troubles with us saying: "I SUFFER MORE THEN YOU" that type of stupid thing.
i got super pissed with some cca of our school normally they also bully guzheng then now they come after us. wth. and it's not like they need to carry stuff to go outside to prac lah. they need instruments meh. everytime make guzheng carry their heavy stuff outside bandroom to prac. then they use the room. so what if you have 100 over people in your cca. so great meh.
dont understand why that cca people so snobbish and stuckup lah. aargh freak. and during band camp we saw them got scolded and nutcase was like: "woah. so fierce!"
jasmine and i: "no lorh. i think they not disciplined enough."

BUT THE GAME IS SO NICE! and horrifying. but still NICE. (: he says silent hill is good. BUT I STILL CANT WATCH IT CAUSE IT'S NC16. ): he says the storyline is the same as the actual game and the graphics and monsters are more horrfying. BUT HAIYA! I NEVER PLAY THE GAME BEFORE HOW I KNOW!
but i still think DOOM3 IS NICE. CAUSE I LIKE THE GAME STORYLINE. AND HAHA THE GADGETS ARE COOL. THE MONSTER GRAPHICS ARE NICE TOO but the people look very fake BUT WHO CARES. IT'S NICE.

WHILE SOME OTHER PEOPLE BY THE NAME OF EUGENE CHU WANTS TO BE FAT. tsk man. it's so well known now. so we walked to CCK swimming complex from his house. (: and my BLOODY SLIPPER TORTURED MY BIG TOE. NOW MY SKIN THERE IS RAW. ):
then went to CCK complex, my sisters had their lessons. then me and gary swam laps. GARY IS FAST. o.O i swam about 20-25 laps i cant remember, then gary swam abit more and we went to the slide to play! haha.haha. erms. (: sigh. i need to trian more. pfffft.
and when i went back i saw him again. i have nothing to say no more. Saturdaywent for band. aye. ms chong took us in the morning. haha. wizard of oz was funny. the beginning we had to cheer or something. and then we couldnt do it. dunno why.
ms chong: "this is part of the song. ya'll must practice you know!"
us: "?!?!"
ms chong: "YA. IT'S PART OF THE SONG WHAT RIGHT! so lets practice cheering now."
errr.
then after wizard she gave us an early lunch. WE WERE ALL SHOCKED LAH. HRMS. i followed clarinets to coro to eat. and SABRINA WAS BORED. cause NO VERA. and she claims that i stole tianhui from her. ERMS. then we crapped abit more at coro and went back.

sylvia nvr come, then it was raining, so NO BOLERO PRAC. at least no CLIMBING DOWN THE 3 STOREYS WITH 12000 BUCKS LAGGING BEHIND YOU AND THREATENING TO FALL OVER. and NO STANDING IN THE QUADRAGLE UNDER THE HOT SUN. phew.
so we went off for sectionals. i think eugenia is pissed with me CAUSE I CANT PLUCK PROPERLY. cause my fingers hurt. then my bow so lousy. damn bloody soft cannot hear at all. pfffft.
then eugenia was like: "jacey can be a stand up sit down er lie down comedian lah." cause whatever she say eugenia will laugh laugh laugh. not funny also laugh laugh. EUGENIA IS THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE A STAND UP SIT DOWN LIE DOWN COMEDIAN LAH! -.-
then towards the end of sectionals the saxes suddenly come out and look for horns. then CLARA LU down there dancing as she walk into the toilet.
-.-
then got lunch. KEXIN DATED ME. OH MAN. -blushes- we went to poolside cafe at hci and met saxes there. then share table with saxes. me and kexin shared one plate of BLACK PEPPER BEEF WITH RICE. HRMS. and i was still hungry after that. KEXIN EAT SO LITTLE! TSK. then clara lu very explosive. TSK. sit anywhere near her arh, BEWARE OF HER EXPLOSIVE LAUGHTER!!! (:
then after lunch went back for band. mr lee took phantom, a little of bolero and wizard. AND HE ENDED AT 3 CAN. WHICH WAS LIKE ONE HOUR BEFORE THE SCHEDULED TIME. OMG. SO KIND!
but it was no use for me cause I HAD TO STAY UNTIL 6.
so i stayed in the band room and prac basics for bass lessons. then clara and yunxin were talking in the saxes cupboard. as in a WALK IN CUPBOARD. ahh.
then i dunno what happened, sabrina started taking photos and cynthia, judy and sabrina were trying to force clara and yunxin inside the cupboard. then clara very strong arh! sabrina judy and cynthia cannot even keep her inside the cupboard for long. then me and kexin were closing the other cupboard door. SUPER FUNNY LAH! you hear our INCOHERENT LAUGHTER and their HYSTERICAL SCREAMS AND CRIES. hahahaha! everytime clara tries to come out, sabrina would snap a picture of her with cynthia's camera. then the first time after like 20 mins of struggle, they finally managed to come out and they slammed the door behind them.
the door was locked? they still havent keep the instruments?
judy: "OH NO!"
clara: "OH NO! OH NO! DONT PANIC! DONT PANIC! -breathe in breath out- DONT! PANIC!"
cynthia: "go find christal! she has the keys."
-the trio rushes out of the bandroom-
sabrina: -shakes head sadly- i didnt do anything! im only the camera man. "
then the three of them came back enthusiastically with clara shaking the keys in her hands. hrm ya. then i dunno what happened and they started erm forcing clara into the cupboard again. haha! then me and kexin were there in closing the tuba cupboard doors so that she wouldnt come out. HAHA. then kexin was like: "im not doing anything! im just LEANING AGAINST THE DOOR and cleaning my eupho you know. HURHURHUR."
erm ya. HURHUR.
CLARA HEN3 DUO1 LI4 CAN! me and kexin cannot even force her back into the cupboard.
quotes clara: "CYNTHIA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU BETTER LET ME OUT NOW IF NOT NEXT WEEK'S SECTIONALS I SHALL MAKE YOU PLAY ALOT OF NOTES UNTIL YOUR FINGERS DIE (or something like that.) CHUNGYAN! EUGENIA! NI3 MEN2 BU4 KE3 YI3 JIAN4 SI3 BU2 JIU4 !"
oh by the way, chungyan, eugenia, xiao jac and germaine were like at the other end of the bandroom practising? chungyan, eugenia and big cheryl's laughter are contagious. SUPER FUNNY CAN THEIR LAUGHTER. tsk.
erm then more struggles with the cupboards and clara finally got out and then they started sitting down and erm talk. then when they wanted to go home, then sabrina, cynthia and judy were like closing the bandroom door on her so that she couldnt go out and me and kexin were closing the second door so that she couldnt come in. so she was sort of stuck in the sound-proof partition. HAHA! SUPER FUNNY!
CLARA ARH! WHAT YOU EAT TO MAKE YOU SO STRONG ARH. I WANT YOUR STRENGTH!
erm then they went home! hehheh. i stayed in school till 5.40 to go to watten drive for bass lessons.
WALKED IN THE RAIN AGAIN. rawrrrr. bass lesson was nothing interesting. yadeeda.
qoutes cynthia from her blog: "once upon a time..

qoutes jasmine tan:
It is something called losing faith. It is something called unsure. It is something called confidence no more. It is something called failure. It is something called you lost. It is something called losing yourself. It is something called goal-less.
Quotes PEA: It is something called incompetence. i dunno what im feeling now.cause i feel angsty, worried, VERY VERY SAD, tearful, and crazy at the same time.
oh no no no. it's not mood swings.
it's called A MIXTURE OF FEELINGS.
woah cheem. (:
im feeling crazy cause IM TRYING TO ACT CRAZY TO CHEER MYSELF UP.
like HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
and it's not working. hurhur. pfffffft.
today's band was sucky. alot of people didnt turn up cause of the PEOPLE IN KRABI and the PEOPLE IN BSP CAMP. still got the HMP CAMP and AEP CAMP.
poof! more than half of our band was gone.
took persis, glenn miller, wizard, ai no corrida, gelato, phantom. persis sucked lah. no power. not loud enough. and glenn miller is finger killer. the WHOLE PIECE PLUCK ALL THE WAY. and i have new blisters on old blisters on my finger. HOW NICE.
super tiring. and i had backache. WORSE STILL, BASSES ONLY HAD ME CHERLY AND SHENYI. and you know shenyi CANT PLAY A SINGLE NOTE. so only ME AND CHERYL. HOW NICE.
and KLEEERA LOOOO was crazy. in the morning after marching she was like: "let's go to the field for sectionals!!!"
everyone stared at her.
me: "jacey! where are we going for sectionals?"
clara: "the field!!"
jacey: "the same place lorh."
clara: "EEYUR! why always the same place! go to the field lah! look at the fine weather outside! -rushes over to window and draws up the curtain.- tata! see so nice and cooling!"
erms.
and the saxes went to the field.
AND IT RAINED.
some fine weather huh.
it was pouring like mad when we went KAP for lunch. I WALKED IN THE RAIN CAN. cause SOMEBODY BY THE NAME OF MELISSA YEO went to STEAL MY NICE NICE UMBRELLA AND SHELTER HERSELF. hmph! and IM SO WEI3 DA4. WALKED IN THE RAIN FROM SCHOOL TO KAP AND BACK TO SCHOOL.
see im SO NICE. (:
morning had marching.
and seriously! it's my 2nd marching session can. the first session NOT EVEN A SESSION. i just followed whatever the rest did blindly. cause everytime the band had marching IM OUTSIDE SCHOOL HAVING BASS LESSONS.
so today i sucked like dunno what. only knew the commans to turn left, turn right, turn 180 degrees. and couldnt differentiate the differences between the command to march on the spot and REALLY MARCH LAH. omg. so loser can.
and i think i looked super dumb. yanting took trombones, euphos, basses and horns for section marching. melissa and nutcase kept laughing! then sam and shi min super scary can! they look super fierce! then yanting very nice. cause i kept horse-kicking and she was like: "siewying arh! dont horse kick." and i wa like : "ok" and she didnt say anything else.
clara lu very scary! clara lu and sylvia! they took trumpets and saxes for section marching and they shout super loud lah! first time i hear clara shout so loud can! and i was super scared. CLARA IS SO SCARY. :/
but haha! clara's laughter is CONTAGIOUS.
nutcase's FLASHING SMILE also. haha!
haiya. so shit. thurs got band and it ends at 4. then have to stay in school until 6 to go for bass lessons. bloody hell. freak man. waste my time.
and i think sylvia damn pissed with the band. we still sound like shit.
and im such a loser! JASON'S HOMEWORK IS STILL LIKE THERE TOWERING OVER ME. rawrr. i wanna throw away all his homework!
CHUA HUIYING FINISHED WORKBOOK 1 AND I HAVENT TOUCHED A SINGLE SCHOOL HOMEWORK!

Bad Day -Daniel PowterWhere is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on
Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Will you need a blue sky holiday?
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day(Oooh.. a holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong(yeah...)
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
my sentiments too.
9:15 PM
just because i appear to be so cheerful EVERYTIME that doesnt mean i AM cheerful. know what's sarcasm? i doubt you do. cause if you do, you wouldnt have to put all these against me.
im losing it ok? im losing it.
im so sorry but im not as patient as you.
although i seem so, but im not so happy most of the time ok. im human. I HAVE FEELINGS. dont try to shoot me down everytime i try to get up cause ONE DAY i might just decided to stay on the ground and not get up ever again. cause IM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS LIFE. where i try and i try so hard but all i get is setbacks and critism. so much for trying man. so much for trying. THANKS ARH. FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE TO ME. FOR ALL THE CRITISM AND STUFF. THANKS ALOT MAN. YOU MADE MY DAY.
and in case you didnt catch that, THAT WAS SARCASM. ok?
shit man. im losing faith.
im so sorry but i've started crying myself to sleep again.ALL THANKS TO YOU.
